as_o many_o passenger_n as_o she_o meet_v she_o consume_v it_o again_o in_o the_o next_o harbour_n in_o riot_n in_o drunkenness_n in_o voluptuousness_n &_o in_o all_o manner_n of_o extraordinary_a beastliness_n here_o be_v yet_o again_o to_o be_v remember_v what_o have_v be_v already_o learned_o teach_v we_o out_o of_o this_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o here_o be_v now_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o although_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n in_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v resemble_v to_o a_o ship_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a quality_n belong_v to_o a_o ship_n that_o a_o good_a woman_n must_v not_o have_v and_o that_o be_v one_o ship_n may_v belong_v to_o many_o merchant_n and_o one_o merchant_n may_v be_v owner_n in_o many_o ship_n but_o this_o be_v a_o special_a note_n of_o the_o unchaste_a woman_n for_o she_o cry_v still_o the_o more_o the_o merry_a a_o merchant_n never_o sail_v but_o with_o a_o convenient_a company_n no_o more_o than_o will_v suffice_v to_o handle_v her_o sail_n and_o to_o tackle_v the_o ship_n as_o necessity_v require_v but_o the_o pirate_n be_v still_o double_a and_o treble_a man_v yea_o &_o so_o over_o pester_v with_o man_n that_o she_o have_v more_o than_o she_o be_v well_o able_a to_o stow_z and_o all_o this_o she_o use_v as_o well_o for_o offence_n as_o for_o defence_n and_o against_o none_o so_o much_o as_o against_o the_o most_o honest_a trade_n merchant_n so_o the_o adulterous_a woman_n do_v still_o play_v of_o the_o advantage_n and_o she_o shall_v have_v ten_o for_o one_o to_o take_v her_o part_n against_o any_o woman_n that_o be_v honest_a let_v i_o but_o crave_v pardon_n to_o set_v down_o what_o i_o myself_o have_v observe_v in_o this_o case_n i_o have_v seldom_o see_v a_o honest_a woman_n which_o be_v here_o resemble_v to_o a_o merchant_n ship_n to_o have_v many_o friend_n to_o 〈◊〉_d for_o she_o that_o will_v quarrel_v for_o she_o that_o will_v fight_v for_o she_o or_o that_o will_v be_v at_o any_o

approve_v that_o woman_n to_o be_v most_o honest_a that_o be_v least_o know_v &_o i_o think_v indeed_o that_o the_o most_o honest_a woman_n be_v least_o speak_v of_o for_o they_o do_v please_v the_o least_o in_o number_n and_o virtue_n be_v never_o grace_v by_o the_o multitude_n now_o to_o speak_v my_o own_o knowledge_n i_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o those_o woman_n to_o be_v over_o much_o cloy_v with_o honesty_n that_o be_v continual_o frequent_v with_o comer_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o to_o have_v adopt_a father_n adopt_a brother_n adopt_a son_n adopt_a partner_n adopt_a servant_n adopt_a

dishonest_a woman_n shall_v induce_v this_o large_a acquaintance_n the_o lip_n of_o a_o harlot_n say_v solomon_n drop_v like_o the_o honey_n comb_v her_o mouth_n be_v more_o soft_a than_o oil_n but_o her_o end_n more_o bitter_a than_o wormwoode_n and_o sharp_a than_o a_o two_o edge_a sword_n her_o foot_n go_v down_o to_o death_n and_o her_o step_n do_v lead_v to_o hell_n pro._n 5._o i_o say_v with_o solomon_n beware_v of_o the_o slight_n of_o a_o harlot_n she_o have_v a_o tongue_n to_o train_n eye_n to_o allure_v look_v to_o atract_v tear_n to_o excuse_n smile_v to_o flatter_v enticement_n

by_o her_o slight_n so_o she_o disperse_v they_o again_o at_o her_o pleasure_n for_o some_o she_o send_v to_o the_o physician_n to_o seek_v for_o help_v some_o to_o the_o spittle_n that_o be_v past_a

all_o to_o the_o devil_n if_o they_o have_v not_o grace_v to_o repent_v in_o time_n these_o wanton_a countenance_n these_o immodest_a behaviour_n these_o impudent_a domeanure_n be_v they_o not_o allurement_n to_o make_v themselves_o know_v if_o in_o steed_n of_o these_o amorous_a glance_n these_o yield_a gesture_n and_o these_o entice_a trick_n they_o will_v but_o show_v a_o sober_a

worthy_a woman_n be_v their_o now_o in_o this_o age_n that_o may_v give_v example_n that_o can_v so_o temper_v themselves_o in_o all_o their_o enterteinemente_n that_o they_o cut_v of_o all_o hope_n from_o the_o vicious_a mind_v the_o virtuous_a woman_n gird_v her_o loin_n with_o strength_n say_v solomon_n that_o be_v she_o settle_v her_o mind_n with_o staidness_n and_o continency_n strength_n and_o honour_n be_v her_o clothinge_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n she_o shall_v rejoice_v but_o for_o the_o harlot_n she_o wait_v not_o the_o way_n of_o life_n pro._n 5._o we_o may_v see_v here_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o good_a woman_n and_o the_o bad_a the_o one_o solomon_n clothe_v with_o honour_n and_o estimation_n the_o other_o he_o confine_v in_o the_o high_a way_n of_o death_n there_o be_v now_o one_o other_o quality_n that_o a_o good_a woman_n must_v in_o no_o wise_n borrow_v from_o a_o ship_n and_o that_o be_v too_o much_o rigginge_v and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o charge_n and_o to_o very_o little_a purpose_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o some_o ship_n in_o superfluity_n in_o the_o paintinge_v of_o caage_n work_v like_o the_o paint_n of_o woman_n face_n that_o be_v wear_v of_o with_o wind_n and_o weather_n leave_v loathsomnes_n behind_o to_o those_o that_o do_v behold_v it_o and_o then_o what_o flag_n what_o ensign_n what_o streamer_n and_o what_o pendant_n that_o serve_v for_o no_o use_n but_o for_o pride_n and_o bravery_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o vanity_n that_o be_v use_v among_o a_o great_a many_o of_o woman_n now_o a_o day_n perhaps_o i_o may_v offend_v some_o and_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o please_v all_o but_o how_o many_o gentleman_n have_v consume_v themselves_o by_o uphould_v their_o wife_n pride_n how_o many_o lordship_n be_v sell_v to_o uphould_v ladyship_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o do_v make_v so_o many_o citizen_n and_o trade_n man_n so_o common_o to_o play_v bankrupt_n but_o the_o excessive_a pride_n that_o be_v use_v by_o their_o wife_n by_o this_o pride_n of_o woman_n hospitality_n be_v eat_v up_o and_o good_a housekeeping_n be_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o country_n and_o how_o many_o item_n be_v still_o bring_v in_o for_o the_o body_n excess_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o the_o poor_a soul_n nakedness_n but_o i_o think_v it_o can_v not_o be_v ill_o take_v for_o i_o to_o set_v down_o how_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n dally_v with_o the_o wanton_a gesture_n of_o the_o vain_a woman_n that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n at_o their_o stretch_a out_o neck_n their_o wander_a eye_n their_o walk_a and_o their_o mincinge_n as_o they_o go_v in_o the_o street_n then_o he_o set_v down_o a_o whole_a royal_a exchange_n full_a of_o vanity_n so_o many_o to_o be_v rehearse_v as_o i_o will_v forbear_v at_o this_o time_n to_o deliver_v they_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v they_o let_v they_o look_v into_o the_o 3._o of_o isaiah_n from_o the_o 16._o to_o the_o 24_o verse_n where_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o wanton_a dispose_v woman_n that_o be_v in_o that_o age_n have_v leave_v precedent_n to_o those_o that_o be_v incline_v to_o lightness_n now_o it_o have_v be_v a_o question_n whether_o chastity_n join_v with_o vanity_n do_v deserve_v any_o commendation_n but_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v because_o i_o will_v not_o offend_v yet_o i_o do_v think_v that_o this_o overmuch_o affect_a folly_n do_v live_v with_o no_o less_o susspected_a honesty_n she_o be_v a_o ill_a huswife_n therefore_o of_o her_o credit_n and_o reputation_n that_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o bring_v it_o into_o construction_n that_o will_v give_v any_o sign_n or_o show_n of_o lightness_n whereby_o she_o may_v be_v suspect_v because_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v once_o taint_v in_o her_o honour_n must_v be_v drive_v to_o a_o hard_a course_n of_o recovery_n she_o must_v rub_v of_o the_o skin_n to_o wipe_v out_o the_o spot_n now_o beside_o this_o garishnes_n in_o apparel_n what_o be_v these_o paintinge_v of_o shameless_a face_n
